Natural Help for Stress Reduction, Anxiety Relief, Behavioral Problems, and Aggression in Cats
It’s that time of the year again. While you’re singing silent nights and jingle bells, here’s what your cat is singing.
Yes, our little furry children are eager to wreck Christmas decorations, make cooking a menace and bring down the Christmas tree. How are you planning to save your Christmas and keep them happy too. Here are 4 clever tips that will help pet-proof your Christmas preps.
We got this really cool idea from one of our cat moms who uses NHV natural supplements for her cats. She decorated a ladder and placed it next to the tree. Voila! The little fur monsters were not interested in the tree anymore. They loved playing on the ladder a lot. In fact, she was able to make a little video for us. It’s Toothless Tigger‘s Christmas Commercial for NHV Natural Pet Products.
When your pets can’t be trusted around the house, you put them in a crate for a time out. Crate training is an important part of growing up for most dogs; and sometimes, cats too need to be confined to a room. Well, if you have pets who can’t be trusted with a tree and you don’t want to restrict them to a tiny crate when everyone is celebrating Christmas, here’s what you do. You place the tree in the crate and let it think about its life choices. Some time off in a safe little sanctuary where your pets won’t chew on it, jump on it or bring it down. Pet proofing, aced. (Pictures: Bored Panda)
If it’s a cat you’re trying to save Christmas from, then just trim your tree from the bottom up. You have a tree and it’s decorated. It might look like a lamp but that’s okay. Your cats are happy, intrigued and your tree is decorated. This tree works for dogs too. But if it’s just a dog that you’re trying to save your Christmas tree from, then you can do something as simple as not decorating the bottom half. Your dog won’t fiddle with it if it has nothing shiny or chewy hanging from it. (Pictures: Bored Panda)
To keep your dog from peeing on it, try using a natural pee deterrent. Here are DIY instructions to make a deterrent for dogs and cats at home.
Soon the cat understood climbing the tree is a bad idea.
If you pick this route then there are some pet-proofing options you can choose from. You could simply decorate a Christmas tree outside. A real Christmas tree for everyone in the neighborhood to enjoy. Or you could place your Christmas tree out on the patio and obviously, keep your pets away from it. (Pictures: Bored Panda) We also heard about a cat mom who would make her cat wear a Christmas sweater every time he would try to climb the tree. Soon the cat understood climbing the tree is a bad idea.
Or you could get a natural calming supplement like ours to help calm your cat or your dog and help them cope with the holiday anxiety too. You are going to be in and out a lot more. There are going to be guests and there’s going to be some cheerful Christmas chaos. Our herbal blends Matricalm and Lesstress will help with all of this. Add to it some minor training and you might just have a Christmas like normal people: A merry and a pet proof one. 🙂
There you go. Some clever trips for pet proofing your Christmas. While you do all this, please ensure you keep your pets safe and healthy too. Don’t feed them table scraps or your holiday cookings. Baked turkey slices or some crunchy blueberries are good as snacks. Dispose the turkey bones very carefully. Your pets shouldn’t be able to get into them. They are more damaging than any Christmas decorations. Happy Pawlidays, everyone. Have a beautiful Christmas with your loved ones, human and furry.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.

I just posted an article to my Facebook account about a women whose cat knocked a snow globe off the table and then died when it touched the fluid inside and licked it off it’s paws. I never even thought about a snow globe being dangerous.
Hi Jayne,
Thank you so much for this helpful information.
It’s important to know things like this, especially with the holiday season fast approaching! Most snow globes contain ethylene glycol, a main ingredient in anti-freeze which is extremely toxic to our furkiddos. If you haven’t already, we suggest keeping any snow globes far, far away from your precious little one.
Sending you lots of love and light!
Yours in wellness,
Team NHV
